Registration Number
NCT02114866
Lead Sponsor
University of Witten/Herdecke
Brief Summary

Postoperative handovers to the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) in adult anaesthesia are described as incomplete and unstructured, although their relevance for the patient safety is well known. It must be assumed that for children, this handover is at least comparable important.

With a self-developed checklist information transfer during postoperative handovers will be documented and subsequently compared with patient information in anaesthesia records.
